The 4th ink sample in this month's Goulet Ink Drop is Noodler's Purple Martin. It is a very well behaved ink, no feathering, bleedthrough or ghosting. Purple Martin is a medium purple with low to moderate shading. I probably would prefer a little darker purple than this; it is a medium purple that leans towards the redish pink side rather than the blue end. For just a regular no frills ink, this is just the ticket.
